Honestly, just do the work. The homework really does help practice and basically makes the information muscle memory. I don't think I would have learned the content of this course if Mr. L had assigned more or less of the homework he did. Every packet/worksheet has a purpose and your effort on those will most definitely reflect on your test grades unless you're a genius of some sort (I am most definitely not one of them but to be honest, I have seen a lot of geniuses in my class). Overall, it's a pretty easy class especially compared to the other classes at Stanton. Just do your work. That's literally it. Not much to it.

Do the homework. It is a lot of work but everything is covered. If you don't complete assignments, it will show on the tests unless a student is gifted.
